Re: The War - Ken Burns Series on PBS
[ QUOTE ]
I'll watch it for sure if it gets to the UK.
You guys ever get the British documentary series 'The World At War'?
It's really great. I've toyed with doing an ep by ep discussion thread, but doubt it'll get any interest.

World at War aired every so often on PBS for quite a while, but I haven't seen it aired in a while.
Excellent series. I remember watching it the first time in 1973 or so when I was 9. I've been a WWII buff ever since. I've seen a lot of other documentaries on the war, but none can hold a candle to World at War. I finally bought the whole series about 15 years ago on video tape.
I'm looking forward to Burns' documentary though. He did such a great job on Civil War, Baseball, and Jazz. I don't see his new one being very comprehensive in only 7 episodes, but you never know.It should still be a good documentary. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Edit:
I forgot to mention, I would be interested in an ep by ep discussion of World at War. But you're probably right, interest may be limited.
